It was a fine premise but I was annoyed the whole time ( ) "Do you understand, Cady? Silence is a protective coating over pain." Wow. a subtle but amazing story - the writing style and plot kind of sneak up on you. The story builds until you realize you are holding your breath. I agree with others. Go into this knowing nothing. Let the story take you for a ride. Even if you know the twists, you don't know truths at the end like this. let them find you.
Of course I won't reveal the twists and turns of the cunning plot, but I can say that when the secret at the heart of the book is finally revealed, it turns out to be nastier and more shocking than anything I had imagined. This is a cunning, clever and absolutely gripping novel, full of surprises, which sent me straight back to its first page as soon as I reached the last. What really makes a book of the summer is when we surprise ourselves. It’s not just about being fascinated by a book. It’s about being fascinated by the fact that we’re fascinated. The odds:4-1 We Were Liars E. Lockhart Pros: Rich people on an island; sharp, funny-sad writing; a head-snapping fourthÂquarter reveal. Cons: It’s a YA novel, so some adults might pass.
